To all whom it may concern;

Beit known that I, JAciNToMITATs, a subject of the King of Spain, residing at New York city, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Compound Ladles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear', and'exact description of the invention, `such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains'to My linvention relates toimprovements in compound'ladles to be used in the manufacture of artificial marble, artificial stone, tiles, bricks, blocks, or slabs for the construction of buildings, where different colors are used.

The eneral practice inthe manufacture of arti cial marble and similar articles is to required; A

I have discovered a means by 'which I'can effect this result in' a mechanical, rapid, and economic and greatly simplified manner, and

` to this end my invention consistsin the constructionhereinafter described and claimed. In the accompanying drawing, the figure ladle constructed'in accordance with `my invention.

This ladle consists of a back a, sides or ends b attached4 to or made integral with v said back and constructed so as to approach each other at the discharge end, 'anda fiat I bottom 0the whole terminating in fa single f discharge mouth Partitions ,ware ar-l rangednearly parallel tolfthel sides /b,"thec yback ends of said partitionsbeing attached l 4 beveled ofi", as shownat vf.

The operation is as follows :1 -supposing,

#3, and the yellow While loading the ladle, it` is, of

wi l be laid side by side without mixing, except at the edges, and if the mixed sand and cement, which are to form the backing, are promptly filled in and pressed down, a fine mottled or striped'appearance is p oduced on the lower face of the material 'in `the mold, which, after the mass has solidified, may afterward be polished.

. Of course, the ladle could have anynum'- ber of chambers and any number of colors could be put into the respective chambers. A common way is to fill two com artments or chambers with the color it is. esired to give the body of the piece, and the other with the color desired to give the veinings,

markings, etc., this beingplaced in an 1n' the ladle is thus loaded or filled, the operatorfhas merely to empty it slowly into the met 1; v v I I claim 1.
